While mediums and spiritualists sometimes refer to the supposedly departed human beings they "speak" with as "souls" or "spirits" interchangeably, Christian doctrine would tell you that they are not the real souls of the departed talking to the credulous - the real souls reside in Heaven (or purgatory or Hell if you're from a denomination which believes in such things). Rather, they are "spirits", ie of non-human origin, trying to deceive the living for fun or profit.
i.e. Soul= each individual's Real/True Self and the consciousness thereof...our highest level of guidance that is One with God/Source, that we can access, but is uniquely our individual Soul. Non physical in substance but One with Spirit. But it is connected to all aspects of our being, our spiritual, mental, emotional and physical 'bodies' that work together in harmony when in a balanced state of wholeness when we are alive. But when we die from this physical body, the records (everything that we ever thought, spoke or did) from all of our bodies that we have accrued and are according to our divine plan go to "heaven with the Soul"; and all the records that we accrued that are not according to the divine plan is the soul (lower case) that is dissolved, if that is prayed for to happen, or gets stuck in the astral plane (many levels of lower consciousness, the lowest level some might call hell) creating the spirit (lower case).
The top paragraph is from Jenny's(Inspirepub) and the bottom paragraph is mine.
So, the spirit(s) (lowercase), is a false soul according to our entries. This false soul has been called the "ka" by someone (I'll have to go back over my past knowledge base to see where I read about this particular definition of ka)
Anyway, the ka of an individual, gets stuck in the astral planes after death if it is not dissolved by being prayed for to do so. This soul (that which is the records of everything an individual has thought, spoken or done in life that did not meet Eternal standards) becomes the ka after death, unless these soul records are dissolved by prayer. This prayer, cuts free the Soul ([Capitalized]the True/eternal Self), that was connected to the soul records while alive, to go back into the Eternal Oneness.
But the ka, if it has not been prayed for to be dissolved, gets stuck in the astral planes of earth and is used to trick living people into believing it is their i.e. Aunt Suzie or Uncle John, hence these "channelers" that claim to be connecting with their loved one, are really only connecting with the "echo" of the not self of the individual they knew when he/she was alive. But these channelers get people to pay quite a bit to be able to "talk" with the perceived loved one that died. They are in such grief from losing their loved one they want to believe they are really connecting with them to try and relieve their grief. Channelers are charlatans, preying on the grief, right?
It seems to me, that the sacred concept here is for the "allegiance" to be with the Real Soul, and be joyful that that Soul has attained freedom from earthly bonds, and gone into eternity/Oneness. And to ignore the false souls that have become spirits. To perpetuate something that is not sacred is a waste of energy and time as well as money and sanity!?
The only man I ever truly loved died an accidental death. And though several of us that were closest to him saw his "ghost" for several weeks after his funeral; then we never saw it again. When I saw that movie "Ghost" when it first came out and learned all the going into the Light stuff, it dawned on me that is what happened to my lover...he had gone into the Light, and I started my spiritual pursuits learning as much as I could about the mystical of religions to understand what had happened. But because none of us pursued looking to a channeler to maintain contact with the ghost of him, his True Soul component was able to move on into the Light/Oneness. And I assume someone prayed for his soul records to dissolve so his Soul could go where its suppose to go. I wasn't praying then, so I know it wasn't me.
Wow! that brings up a whole lot of other questions to be understood, considering all the knowledge I have taken in over the past twenty three years since his death.
For another night's consideration. One of these days there is going to be a great hub or two coming out of these ponderings.
Good night All!
